AVAAZ Recruits campaigner

This is just for your information.
if you want to get file, I will send it.
please let me know.

Hi there,

Avaaz has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the last 4 years, rapidly
becoming the largest global web movement in history. Our membership is
at 8 million and climbing fast. The initial vision of Avaaz - of a
truly global, multilingual, multi-issue, committed movement of
citizens that can rapidly mobilize effective democratic pressure on
governments all over the planet -- has been realized.

But today our team is more taken with a sense of possibility than of
accomplishment. We feel we’ve just scratched the surface of what’s
possible with Avaaz, and we’re looking for a few absolutely
outstanding Japanese individuals to join us and help us find out just
how far our story goes.

Specifically and in the longer-term, we’re looking to hire a full time
Japanese Campaigner, or Campaign Director (depending on experience).
I’ve included details about what we’re looking for below, and would
kindly request you forward this to anyone you think might be
interested, or might be able to send it further.

If you know someone who can help us make calls, fix meetings... to
find the right people, please let us know, also. We may hire them as a
fixer to help us for a few weeks. We’re looking for a very practical
person with a deep knowledge of the Japanese political, media and
civil society worlds. We have a separate job description we can send
to people, please ask them to email: recruiting@avaaz.org

We don’t care so much about cover letters, or years of experience. Our
criteria for hiring for are:

-- Fluency in English and Japanese is a MUST
-- Excellent writer, able to write in an active voice, concisely and
with emotion,
-- A globalist -- familiar with a range of social and environmental
issues and the language used to write about them: human rights,
climate change, poverty, Middle East peace etc..
-- Comfortable working to extremely tight deadlines,
-- Flexibility -- able to surge at short notice,
-- Basic knowledge and proficiency in HTML code desirable but not essential,
-- Highly professional: attentive to detail, and no drama.

In our experience, we find great people by asking other great people.
Again, it doesn’t matter how many years of experience candidates have
or whether they’ve done very similar work. They might come from
politics, media, NGOs or it might be industry, education or science.

All of you are committed to social change, and we’d ask that you take
a few moments to consider this in that light - the right person at
Avaaz can really make a difference in the world. All of you have
either been extremely helpful to Avaaz staff or the organisation in
the past, and just a few moments of your time could literally make
years of difference to us and our work on the issues we all care
about.

If you have anyone to recommend or would like to apply yourself,
please forward them this email and the attached job description, and
encourage them to apply by emailing recruiting@avaaz.org

best wishes and thanks in advance for helping us out,

Ricken and the rest of the Avaaz team.

Fan

at August, I went to speaking tour in Kansai that is west Japan.
I spoke something about Advocacy and the power we have for change.
I enjoyed talking with young people in these areas.


talking with these passionate people always encourages me to keep my commitment.
I also confirmed that human beings is the social creature, that develop their culture through meeting people and sharing idea.

by the way, I found some nice fan when I went to Kansai.
I like it.

I joined new action for better world.

Hi there, I must share following URL.

yes, I joined "Don`t Drop The Ball on Aid".
Aid is so importance for people suffering from Poverty and Climate Change.
but Rich Countries seems to reduce the amount of aid.
so it is the way to show my though to support aid!!

let`s join us to help overcome poverty!!

hi there, Oxfam Japan International Volunteer Group has the Monthly Meeting in this friday.
this group has the wonderful opportunity to create social awareness in Japanese Society.
as you know, the Civil Society in Japan is different with other developed countries.
it seems hard to mobilize people for public action.
the education on civil mind as "global citizenship" is needed.

in this context, International Volunteer Group has great role to push the movement.

Guantanamo

today, I found one news letter in my post.
this is news letter from Amnesty International Japan.
*I'm monthly supporter of Amnesty International Japan.

in this news letter, Huge Violation of human rights in Guantanamo are introduced.
I think United States is one of democratic countries.
but sometime they did such a fool thing.
I am really concerned for it.

we need to make just world without poverty.
for it, we need to pay attention for the world.
